ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a high permeability granular material, which is advantageously useful in hydraulic fracturing operations for completing new wells or stimulating older wells which produce oil, gas or other fluids by appropriate sizing and mixing of natural or manufactured particles in a manner such that the material will, when used in a proppant layer, retain its permeability with respect to contacting or surrounding natural soils or geologic formations containing fines capable of plugging conventional permeable materials, when such fines are moved by gravity or fluid flow forces.
